I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 179 179. The death buckle drawn to the full bow state!

In the positional battle, Stephen Marbury failed to break through after playing the pick-and-roll, and passed the ball several times to Alan Houston for singles, but was met with lightning-fast assist defense by Suter.

In desperation, Houston could only give the ball to Mutombo, who was emptied in the high post, and no one cared about his shooting.Once Uncle Mu is out of the penalty area, he is a pure younger brother. His height of [-] meters and no one around him is very eye-catching.

Mutombo didn't have the confidence to hit the jumper, and he didn't have the confidence to dribble all the way to the basket. He could only stand in a high position and hold the ball and wait for his teammates to come up to meet him. Finally, he passed it to Kurt Thomas, who is also one of the inside twin towers. .

This kind of inside player being emptied was very common in the early [-]s, because this era is the era of star singles, and every team will inevitably use double-team tactics to cause defensive leakage.However, players who are emptied on the offensive end but dare not shoot, this is definitely a morale-damaging thing.

Kurt Thomas couldn't get rid of Suter's entanglement one-on-one. Although he really wanted to use a tough individual single to score two points on Suter's head, his reason still prompted Thomas to pass the ball.

As a result, Kurt Thomas' passing intention was too obvious and he made a mistake when passing the ball to Stephon Marbury.Spotting the opportunity, Suter suddenly accelerated and cut off the passing route. After stealing the ball, he took advantage of the situation and started a fast break.

He only took two steps to get rid of Kurt Thomas who was chasing him behind him. Facing the unguarded basket in front of him, Suter dunked the ball hard into the basket with a two-handed dunk.He grabbed the rim, raised his legs, circled back to complete the relief, and almost kicked Stephon Marbury in the head, rewarding him with a Foshan Wuying kick. 11:4.

After landing, Su Te yelled at the audience, showing off his beast power all the time.At the same time, Knicks coach Wilkens was forced to request a timeout.

Commentator Mark Anderson said with a smile: "The Vulture has scored 9 points since the start. It can be seen that the Vulture is in a very hot state in this game. It forced Wilkens to request a timeout to try to cool down. If he doesn't call, I'm afraid One quarter is going to garbage time."

"The Knicks were obviously not prepared enough today. They didn't flank the Vultures after the opening game, and insisted on using Kurt Thomas to perform a single defense against the Vultures. I don't know if Wilkens was too conceited, or it was against Kurt Thomas. Feeling confident in our defensive ability."

"Anyway, so far, Thomas has not been able to prove himself on the defensive end, nor has he been able to limit the vulture's personal performance."

Partner Tom Horvath said: "Kurt Thomas is a defensive champion who has played in the league for nine seasons. He has already proved his defensive ability in the previous matchup with Tim Duncan. Unfortunately, Thomas It's really not the vulture's opponent, and the vulture scored 9 points in a row at the beginning of the game."

As early as when he played for the University of Texas in the NCAA, Thomas' excellent defensive ability was unanimously affirmed by the outside world.

His mentor once commented on his performance: "No one can easily score on Kurt's head. He will become the next David Robinson. This is the reality, and you can't stop the reality from coming true."

Today, however, many fans watching the game began to question Kurt Thomas' defensive ability.I think Thomas is just more aggressive on the field, but in fact, his defensive ability is not as good as people think.

Kurt Thomas also has problems with his personality, arrogant and arrogant.

He once said in an interview with the media that he could guard Duncan to nothing.Of course, these will be taken out by reporters alone and magnified infinitely, and finally hit the headlines of sports news.

But Tim Duncan, who has already established his status in the league, has never made any statement. It seems that he doesn't take Kurt Thomas seriously at all.

In today's game, people felt that Kurt Thomas would not be able to guard against Souter even if he had a longer arm. The gap between the two on the court was too obvious, at least two grades apart.

At this time, Kurt Thomas, who was sitting on the sidelines, also found that he had seriously underestimated Suter's personal strength.

For a big player who is close to [-] meters tall, this guy is too fast, the type he hates, and doesn't know how to defend at all.After the timeout, he has to be the main defense, because there is no second person in the entire Knicks who is more suitable for defending Souter except him.

He always thought that Suter's good statistics had something to do with Steve Nash, a top point guard in the league, and his teammates were outstanding, so he could have better shots.

Now he finds that his previous contempt was a bit ridiculous. Souter's explosive personal performance is not due to the presence of Steve Nash. On the contrary, Nash can become the league's assist leader this season thanks to Souter.

If his teammates don't help to defend next, Thomas feels that he will be blasted to pieces.

Wilkens also saw this, replacing Mutombo, who was slow to move laterally, and replaced by center Mohamed, who had a relatively fast reaction speed.

Mohammed was the No. 1998 pick in the first round in 29. He is a black center with a height of 113 meters and a weight of 76 kilograms.Because of his poor ability to protect the frame, he played as a substitute for three seasons after being selected by the 84ers, and the three seasons added up to only played [-] games for the team.

After joining the Hawks briefly in the 00-01 season, the improvement is fairly obvious, but the ability to protect the basket is still poor, and he can only average 0.6 blocks per game in his career.

Last season, he also suffered a serious injury, his state declined seriously, and the efficiency of protecting the frame was far inferior to that of the veteran Mutombo.However, the team now needs an inside line with a more flexible reaction speed, rather than focusing on defending the penalty area, so he has a chance to perform.

The Hawks didn't need to make substitutions and adjustments, and Mike Woodson didn't change his tactics. After entering the playoffs, he found that his work became easier. At least until now, he hasn't experienced the pressure of the playoffs that people say.

Suter's personal ability is very good, and Nash's golf quotient is also very smart. In many cases, he would change the number of offenses without Mike Woodson requesting a timeout. This made the Eagles coaching staff headed by Mike Woodson much lighter.

The game continued and the Knicks attacked.

Mohammeda went to the perimeter and played a pick-and-roll with Stephen Marbury. The latter dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough to attract the defense to score the ball to the center.Mohammad cuts into the lane to receive the ball and puts the ball in the basket from close range. 11:6.

Rasheed Wallace's strength has always been his flaw. Facing the 113kg Muhammad who rushed up, he could only interfere as much as possible, and did not dare to make too many defensive moves in his hands to avoid getting into foul trouble prematurely.

The Eagles attacked, Suter received another pass at the free throw line, and the new Muhammad and Kurt Thomas flanked him without hesitation.

Suter immediately returned the ball to Nash who was nearby, and Nash quickly transferred to Rasheed Wallace who had an open opportunity.The latter catches the ball and makes a mid-range jumper, and hits the rebound before Muhammad returns to the defense. 13:6.

Shandon Anderson followed Jackson on the right side of the penalty area, and the defensive speed was too slow, so he could only watch Wallace open and score.

Tom Horvath said: "The Eagles' offense is now too strong to defend. During the opening period, Derek Anderson and Nash have not shot yet, they are only responsible for transferring the ball, and the Vultures led the team to penetrate. Knicks defense."

"Although the double-teaming tactic can curb the offensive efficiency of the Condors, it will also allow the other players of the Eagles to come up with better offensive opportunities. It is difficult to say whether Wilkens' defensive choice is right or wrong, but the Knicks do not Failed to limit the Hawks' scoring after the timeout."

Mark Anderson laughed: "As the Knicks' No. [-] scorer this season, Alan Houston must stand up and take on more offensive responsibilities at this time. See if Houston can score one. He hasn't scored yet."

As soon as the words fell, Houston caught the ball from the middle distance on the left and singled Jackson. 13:8.

Suter was attracted to the high position by Kurt Thomas. Jackson's court experience is not as good as Houston's. It is difficult to accurately predict Alan Houston's shot selection every time. He can only try to resist the opponent and interfere with his shooting.

The mid-range shot is Alan Houston's stunt, and it's not easy to guard against. As long as this guy is given unlimited shots and creates opportunities for singles, he has the ability to score 30 points.After all, last season, Houston averaged 17.9 shots per game and 22.5 points, tied for tenth in the league with Supersonics star Ray Allen.

His true shooting percentage of 52.9 is not very high, but it is definitely not bad.

The Eagles attacked, and Suter ran to catch the ball first, attracting Mohamed to help defend, and then distributed it to Nash. Nash quickly transferred the ball to the low post.

Rasheed Wallace cuts this time, and Kurt Thomas switches defenses hard against him, giving center Mohamed time to drop back to the basket.Wallace's protection of the ball attracted two double-teams, and he saw the opportunity to quickly distribute the ball to the middle.

At this time, Stephen Jackson made another off-ball screen for Suter on the outside. Suter received the pass in an air cut, rushed to the basket with lightning, jumped up in the three-second zone, and made a tomahawk buckle action.

As soon as Kurt Thomas turned around, he saw Suter flying in his direction.He didn't have time to take off, so he could only raise his hands high, trying to force Suter down from the air.

Kurt Thomas could have knocked Suter out of the air if he fouled with all his might.But all this happened so suddenly that he had no chance to react at all. When he thought that he should foul, Suter had already bumped into him head-on.

Suter put his iron elbow against Thomas's head to prevent Thomas from making bad pushes. He dunked with a tomahawk drawn to the full bow in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket hard!

"bang"

And there was obvious physical contact between the two. The referee called Kurt Thomas a defensive foul on the grounds that his hand movements were suspected of malicious pull. This was a 2+1 goal!
After landing, Suter beat his chest frantically with his hands, and at the same time roared, and cast a provocative expression on Kurt Thomas who fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned. The Eagles' home court, which was still noisy and reckless, became completely silent in an instant, as if even a silver needle could be heard clearly when it fell on the ground.

A second later, there was thunderous applause and cheers in the arena, which was in stark contrast to the silent home atmosphere just now, and instantly pushed the atmosphere of the game to a climax.

At this moment, it seems that the whole world has become Eagles fans, and everyone is screaming heart-piercingly, deeply impressed by Suter's tomahawk snap.

They have seen many scenes of dunking opponents like this, but Suter is the only one who can stretch his body to this state.If nothing else, this dunk will definitely become the most exciting actual dunk in this year's playoffs!
The commentator Mark Anderson exclaimed: "Oh my God! The vulture has once again thrown the death buckle. I can't believe that the vulture can do such a perfect action of splitting the tomahawk through a person! This This dunk dunk with a full bow is simply amazing, I would call this dunk the best goal of this year's playoffs!"

Partner Tom Horvath also shouted: "This is probably the most exciting dunk performance in the history of the NBA. I have only seen dunks like this kind of body stretch in the dunk contest, and that player is called Wen. S-Carter!"

Mark Anderson said: "The Eagles fans in the audience jumped with excitement. This goal is too explosive. It will definitely be the best goal in this year's playoffs. Unless someone can count down the seconds in the tiebreaker The lore, otherwise the vulture will definitely sweep all opponents with this dunk."

"I now think that Vulture is the strongest actual dunker in NBA history, bar none. Even Vince Carter is hard to dunk more ferociously than him, and he has five-best performances every game."

Tom Horvath nodded in agreement: "Vince Carter's dunk looks pleasing to the eye, but Vulture's dunk is full of violence and cruelty. If I had to choose between the two, I think Vulture's actual dunk Better than Vince Carter."

"Other dunks can at most improve morale, but Vulture's dunk can knock the opponent into autism. In the regular season, his death dunk over Tony Delk once made the opponent doubt life. I still haven't forgotten that kind of dunk. Feel."

"After being dunked, I think Kurt Thomas' mentality may also be affected. I don't know if he can treat the game with a normal heart in the future."

Seeing Suter walking to the free throw line with a fierce face, Kurt Thomas almost gritted his teeth and punched the floor a few times.

"Damn! What a hateful fellow!"

Thinking of how he had sarcastically satirized Souter before the game, but now he was kicked to the ground by the opponent, Thomas felt that the left side of his face was burning.
